Chapter 48: The Red Sun Comes and Falls (38)
The large four-wheeled carriage with a large 'five' on its body stopped in front of him.
Wen Lu under the stop sign hurriedly followed the other passengers waiting around him, paid five cents one by one, and boarded the public carriage bound for Tokyo Station.
The public carriages were spacious, taller and larger than any of the carriages in the province, and at the same time longer. There are windows on both sides and on the roof, but they are all wooden. Two rows of seats are crowded, and there are 20 people seated. However, most of them went to Tokyo Station, and as soon as the luggage was put in the middle, the seventeen or eighteen people immediately had no place to put their feet.
Sitting on the outside of Wenlu, two baskets were placed at his feet, squeezed to Wenlu's side, looked at Wenlu's clothes, and asked with a smile, "This outsider, is he returning to his hometown?" ”
Wen Lu didn't want to deal with it, so he hummed coldly.
I don't know the etiquette of the broken family, I can't see Wen Lu's face, and he still has a smiling face: "Listen to the accent, the outsiders should come from the west." ”
After getting in the car, he didn't say a word, where did the accent come from, Wen Lu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "South, Yingtian." ”
"Just go back empty-handed? Why don't you bring some current goods from Beijing? The broken settlement was shocked, "There are too many good things in the Jingshi, and you can't find them on Yingtian's side, just take some back, and it will be double the benefit if you change hands." ”
Wen Lu looked at him carefully, he was a broken family, not the kind of person he was worried about. The clothes on the body have not been washed for a long time, one is black and one gray, and the background color can no longer be seen.
Quietly moving a little to the other side, Wen Lu said coldly: "There is something at home, hurry back." Twisting his head out as he spoke, he wasn't going to talk anymore, and most of the people who talked when he got in the car were liars. Tonight is a night train, and tomorrow morning will come to the door to deliver the letter, Wenlu doesn't want to make extraneous troubles - the old man's orders are the most important.
The wind is tight, and you have to be careful. Needless to say, Wenlu himself can feel it.
Lao Guogong was admitted to the hospital for only half a day, and he was so troubled that he had to go home. Even if you send a letter, you can't leave the official post, and you have to send it yourself.
Fortunately, as soon as he entered Kaifeng, he didn't enter the house with this, but was sent as a secret son and settled in the outer house, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out today.
Thinking of this, Wen Lu touched the letter hidden in his arms, and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
The carriage was speeding towards the station, and I don't know what had happened, when it suddenly slowed down, gradually slowed down, and then stopped.
Wen Lu opened his eyes as soon as he could, and the car door was slammed open from the outside.
A military man appeared outside the car door and yelled inside: "Get out of the car, get out of the car!" ”
People with money and status either travel by their own cars or directly hire cars, and the passengers of public carriages are ordinary people. I didn't enjoy the respectful treatment of the red guys, and I didn't dare to protest the interrupted trip. Although they didn't know what it was, the passengers in the carriage still got off the train one by one with their own things.
Wen Lu got out of the car in fright, his hands and feet were stiff, and he almost stepped on the air, but the broken man who got off the car in front helped him not to fall.
Standing firm, Wen Lu immediately put his mind at ease.
At the intersection of the main road ahead, two people are coming from the left and right, turning onto the main road leading to the station. Thousands of soldiers occupied most of the road and blocked the carriage.
The two divisions were distinct, each occupying the left and right sides of the road, and in the middle was an officer on horseback, restraining the marching formation.
Both the soldiers on the left and right carried bulging backpacks, but the rest of the outfit was completely different.
The one on the left is very recognizable, at least the people of Jingshi can see it at a glance. Someone beside Wen Lu pointed and whispered that it was the Divine Machine Battalion.
Only the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion will have a tarpaulin-wrapped fire on their backpacks. Gun - the team on the right, more than one person long. The sabers were all carried on the shoulders - and the robe with narrow sleeves and buckles that had been transformed from a gown, and it was also the only one in the forbidden army, and the left and right plackets were buttoned up, and then the belt was tied, and the back was straightened and the shoulders were open, and people looked at it in good spirits.
Carrying a chopping horse. The team of knives also carried backpacks of the same style, and there was a package hooked on the outside of the backpack, which looked like a heavy crossbow, most likely the latest phoenix bow. The outer robe is a gown, the color is dark in the night, and it is indistinguishable in the light of the fire, but it is the same shade as the military flag in front of the queue, and it should be bright red.
Wen Lu's eyes narrowed, no need to be introduced, there are four commanders in Luoyang City who belong to the same department, and they are very familiar, that is the Tiger Wing Army - Zhuri and Tianwu are also red jackets, but how can the Fourth Army move lightly?
Seeing that these two teams were heading in the direction of Tokyo Station, Wenlu couldn't help but wonder, is this going to support Hebei? There are also people around me who are excitedly talking about the same speculation - the Liao soldiers are on the border, and the news comes out,
That's good news.
If it is a general who is sent out who refuses to go along with the traitors, get in touch. If it were the henchmen of those traitors, then their control over the court would be lowered. In any case, the emptiness within the Jingshi must be a good thing for the old Guogong.
With anticipation, Wen Lu leaned forward and asked the soldier who stopped the carriage, "What's wrong?" ”
The military man turned over with a dead face, looked Wen Lu up and down with two eyes, then waved his hand and made a gesture to the side, not even bothering to say a word to Wen Lu.
Wen Lu held his breath, and his face darkened. When he was in the house, even the officials who came to the door were not so rude. Hate and retreat aside, if there is no big event, if it weren't for Kaifeng, not Luoyang, he Wen Sanye would want this red guy to look good.
Wenlu stepped aside, and the one who was in the same carriage somehow got up. I didn't know what I was handing over, but I saw that the soldier immediately leaned over and turned his head and ears.
"Someone!" Wen Lu looked at it coldly, secretly guessing, but saw the military man's finger coming over, "This thief is investigating military secrets, arrest him!" ”
Wen Lu was stunned, "Confidential...... I didn't! ”
But several soldiers had already pounced like wolves and threw Wenlu to the ground.
His neck and arms were stuck, and Wen Lu struggled desperately and shouted, "I'm a beloved!" ”
"Where's Lu Yin?"
"Where are you going?"
"What do you do when you inquire about military intelligence?"
"Where's the luggage?"
"Why don't you go out with your luggage?"
Several soldiers who suppressed Wen Lu asked like cannons, and the leading soldier was impatient: "What nonsense, search your body!" ”
Wen Lu immediately felt a few hands rubbing on his body, and one of the hands on his chest was about to touch the secret letter, he finally didn't dare to hide his identity anymore, and shouted: "I'm from the Wen Guo family!" ”
There was a sudden silence around.
The hand pressing his neck relaxed, and the military man's tone became softer, "Wen Guogong? …… Is it Lu Guogong?! ”
"I am on the order of the old man of Wen to go out on an errand!"
Wen Lu broke free of his loose arms and clenched his teeth. Needless to say, there is no need to say the threats, presumably they also know what the result will be if they offend the prime minister and the elder. Even if the prime minister of the dynasty is an enemy of the old man, he will not sit idly by and watch the red guy bully the old man.
But if something like this happened just after the journey, it would definitely be difficult for him to be reused in front of the old man.
He glared at the military man in front of him, and when he turned around, he entrusted a few acquaintances to let this guy know what the fate would be if he offended the prime minister's family.
The military man met Wen Lu's angry gaze, suddenly gritted his teeth and glared, his face was hideous, and he drew up with a scabbard.
There was a muffled sound, and Wen Lu knocked him to the ground.
The sharp pain on his face made him almost faint, and he heard the sound of the wind breaking down the scabbard, and an angry curse: "It's you traitor's lackey who beats you!" ”
……………………
"How unwise Lu Gong is."
Han Gang put down the letter, which can be regarded as evidence of a crime.
To go deeper, colluding with foreign ministers and accusing public opinion, there are all this. If you pick out the words, it is not difficult to ruin the Wen family.
"Xianggong, what should I do?" Shi Zhongxin asked.
"Who seized this letter?"
"It's a deputy head under the lower official, named Niu Qi, and there is also a person from the Imperial City Division."
Shi Zhongxin's men seized the letter and immediately sent it to Han Gang.
In fact, there is also a credit from the Imperial City Division, but it is inconvenient for the other side to show up, so Shi Zhongxin's side takes the superficial credit.
Han Gang nodded, stretched out his hand to go up to a book with a cowhide shell from the bookshelf, and opened it, the first dozen pages were full of names, and Han Gang wrote down Niu Qi's name and identity on the new page.
Closing the book, Han Gang said: "In two months, the new phase of the martial arts and tactics department will start, remember to remind me when the time comes." ”
"Got it." Shi Zhongxin nodded, and said with a smile: "Niu Er is really lucky. ”
It is a sign that allows Han Gang to write down his name in a notebook, just like in the past when the emperor could put his name on the screen of the Chongzheng Hall or the Funing Hall, which is a sign that can be reused.
Han Gang put away his notebook and picked up the letter: "Someone is coming...... Send this letter to the Luguo Mansion. ”
Shi Zhongxin's eyes widened, and he didn't know why Han Gang was still appeased.
But I heard Han Gang say, "Just say that I said it, please Lu Gong be more respectful." ”
Shi Zhongxin's eyes widened now, hearing Han Gang's words, Wen Yanbo would not be angry to death?
"Duke Lu is old, and his mind is a little confused," Han Gang smiled and pointed his finger, "The imperial court can still be considerate." ”
Shi Zhongxin sighed secretly, this is the benefit of being a prime minister, no matter what you do, the court will understand.
Just like Zai Zhi who rebelled with King Er, except for Cai Qu, the prime minister who was killed in the palace, Xue Xiang and Zeng Bu both saved their lives, but they were exiled to Lingnan. If you are a lower official, let alone a real rebellion, it is a little symptomatic, and you can't keep your head.
Han Gang asked, "How sure is the situation in Jingshi?" ”
Shi Zhongxin nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, the lower officials have all been arranged." As long as Xiang Gong said a word, the two thousand soldiers and horses under the subordinate could be dispatched immediately. ”
Han Gang sighed: "I hope I don't need you." ”
